ANDY & ME Logline: A young painter vows to keep his eccentric art-school buddy out of trouble, sabotaging his career and love life in the process; decades later, his daughter uncovers the damage left by his infamous friend: Andy Warhol. True story. #firstpagefriday #Scriptsky #PAGEAwards

INT. PHILIP PEARLSTEIN’S STUDIO - 2018 - DAY
SUPER: NEW YORK CITY 2018
An easel with an enormous oil painting of two nudes posed with a carousel giraffe and an inflatable dinosaur towers over OLD PHILIP (94), extremely short with bottle-thick glasses, who sits on a stool, prepping his palette.
In front of him, two nude models pose as depicted in the painting.

Opposite him sits his daughter JULIA (50s), arty glasses and clothes that would look hip if they were on anyone else.
NOTE: Scenes in Pearlstein’s studio are shot documentary-style. Julia is off camera as she interviews Old Philip.
OLD PHILIP
Can I just say one thing to the audience before we begin?
JULIA (O.C.)
Okay.
OLD PHILIP
(into the camera)
Prepare to be disappointed.
He laughs.
JULIA (O.C.)
What? Why?
OLD PHILIP
(to camera)
Because this film is going to be about me just as much as Andy.
(to Julia)
Right? It’s my story, too. I don’t want to just be remembered as a footnote in Andy’s biography. You can’t let that happen, Julia.
JULIA (O.C.)
That’s why I’m making this, Dad.
OLD PHILIP
Okay. So what do you want to know?
JULIA (O.C.)
Let’s start at the beginning.

page 2. INT. ART STUDIO AT CARNEGIE TECH - 1946 - MORNING
SUPER: PITTSBURGH 1946
PHILIP (23), short and a bit stocky with glasses, sets up at an easel as other students prepare for drawing class. A young WOMAN sets up at the easel next to Philip’s.
ANDY (18), skinny and awkward in hand-me-downs two sizes too big, looks around and zeroes in on Philip.
He squeezes his easel between Philip and the Woman.
She scowls at Andy and moves her easel.
Andy coughs lightly to get Philip’s attention. Nothing.
Coughs louder.
COUGHS LOUDER.
Philip looks up.
ANDY
(grins shyly)
How does it feel to be famous?
INT. PEARLSTEIN’S STUDIO - 2018 - DAY
OLD PHILIP
Those were the very first words Andy ever spoke to me. Which says a lot, given who he became.
JULIA (O.C.)
Why did Andy think you were famous?
OLD PHILIP
When I was a junior in high school, I swept the Scholastic Art Awards and my paintings were reproduced in Life magazine, which was the biggest thing around back then. I was the toast of Pittsburgh. That was 1941. Andy would have been all of 13. How he still remembered it was beyond me. So much had happened since then — World War II, for God’s sake. But Andy liked to know things about people, especially if they were people other people knew about.

The best feeling is pitching 30+ loglines to a group of actor friends so you can prioritize, only for them to demand across the board that you have to write all of them. If I could bottle that, I would. 👩‍🍳 😘 #scriptsky

Just here to say I made myself watch Happy Death Day, Megan, & Knock at the Cabin and I had a great(?) time. I only looked away a couple of times but played it off (to myself) that it was because I needed something in the other room. Which I totally did at those moments btw! #moviesky #scriptsky

Last bit about this and I’ll STFU. You can jump to “if you can’t take feedback (insert sarcastic quip)” rather than taking feedback about how you relay feedback. I take feedback all dang day. I also know constructive and effort. Giving feedback is as much a skill as writing the script. Do better.

Another wth moment brought to you by Story Peer. 😆 To be clear, I don’t mind feedback. In fact, most of the feedback I received for this log was super positive and read requests - so I ain’t bent out of shape. You’ll never please everyone. But in what world is this constructive?! #scriptsky

Just used Story Peer for the first time in ages and the feedback was such a drop in quality I have to ask - is this the new normal over there? I know I put in too much effort (often 3-6k words) but this person copied and pasted the same in both sections - which I realized after. Disappointing tbh.

DUST ON DIRT A burger-slinging astronomy student used as prey in a sadistic hunting game in the desert escapes, and finds help from a reclusive smuggler – but when she uncovers his deal with her kidnappers, she must confront her own capacity for violence. Nicholl QF #screenpit #scriptsky #Fe #Thr

A dry scrub-covered hillside under a brass-blue sky. A few scattered clouds, but no chance of rain. Text: A Script by Adele Smaill / DUST ON DIRT

EXT. DESTROYED WATER STATION IN THE WILDERNESS – NIGHT
Drops of water strike wet earth.

Slow...

...and stop.

A drained water barrel, peppered with bullet holes. Slashed
empty water containers litter the rocky clearing.

A flag, emblazoned with a rain drop, droops from a whip pole.

Facing away, an INFANT in a pink onesie crawls in the dirt.
She turns her head. She's long since dead. No eyes to her
sockets, skin withered to the bone.

INT. TROY'S TRAILER - BEDROOM ALCOVE – DAY

TROY (a gaunt 50s) gasps awake, heart POUNDING.
Flat on his back on a narrow pull-down bed, late afternoon sun
streaming through the window.

TROY
It's ok.

Bleak eyes give the lie, but the POUNDING quiets and slows.
He retrieves a pistol from the tatty console by the bed and
looks it over. His hand trembles. The gun shakes. It's
ridiculous. Pathetic, even.

INT. RAQUEL'S APARTMENT - BATHROOM – DAY
Steady hands put the finishing touches on a flat twist crown.

SHIELLE (O.S.)
(16 and hopeful)
Well? Can I go? Please?

Intent on her reflection, RAQUEL (21, Black, short, in a
uniform emblazoned 'Burgershed') ignores her. Inspects
herself with a critical eye. It'll do.

She heads for the...
